Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and area

What decided it

The solid metal roller shutters present a blank, featureless frontage that harms the character and appearance of the street scene and conflict with Policy LP8 of the Local Plan, with no substantive evidence of security necessity to justify this harm.
